Roger Ballen – Spirits and Spaces


The first monograph to present Roger Ballen's work in colour: a visual revelation that remains grounded in the chaotic, absurd psychological space of the Ballenesque. Having previously expressed no interest in colour photography, Roger Ballen was inspired to engage with the medium after receiving a Leica SL camera as a gift in 2016. Opening up to the potential of colour in his work, Ballen used light in creative ways, exploring new avenues of experimentation. Spirits and Spaces eloquently captures the absurd and bizarre world of Roger Ballen, where animals and Art Brut-like drawings dominate, and humanity is reduced to obscure figures or fragmented body parts. The new colour images in Spirits and Spaces, created in conjunction with Ballen's artistic director, Marguerite Rossouw, were produced in a claustrophobic space, constructed of worn, wallpapered wooden panels and with minimalistic lighting. Here, in this dense, oppressive environment, Ballen creates what might be seen by many as a world that is unexplainable in words: one in which absurdity, chaos, comedy and tragedy apparently exist side by side. Both a visual revelation and an artistic evolution by one of contemporary photography's most unique voices, Spirits and Spaces is an essential and much anticipated photobook for all Roger Ballen fans.

Slow Looking


Looking at art is good for you. Slow Looking: The Art of Nature explores a whole new way of thinking about art – inviting the viewer to contemplate artworks of land, water and sky for inspiration and to better understand the world around us. Slow Looking: The Art of Nature takes readers on a meditative journey from fields, mountains, forest and glaciers to lakes, ponds, waterfalls and rivers and on to sunrises, rainbows, comets, clouds, constellations and so much more. This guided observation of nature offers a whole new way of contemplating the world – all through the medium of art. This beautiful book brings together artworks that explore our deep-rooted connection to nature – from Georgia O’Keeffe’s seashells to Van Gogh’s olive trees and ancient Egyptian carvings. With each pairing, Meehan encourages us to notice more, look closer and find calm in the beauty and power of the natural world, from volcanoes and tempestuous seas to shimmering forests and shooting stars. Slow Looking is a gentle reminder of the joy that can be found in paying attention, and how much nature continues to inspire, soothe and ground us. With essay contributions from Harriet Baker, Lizzie Marx, Miya Tokumitsu and Alice Vincent.

Abstract Art: A Global History


Now available in paperback, this is a radically new approach to the understanding of abstract art, expanded to include sixteen new contemporary artists from six continents, and an emphasis on textile as abstract. In his fresh take on abstract art, now available in paperback and expanded to include sixteen new contemporary artists from six continents, noted art historian Pepe Karmel chronicles the movement from a global perspective, while embedding abstraction in a recognizable reality. Moving beyond the canonical terrain of abstract art, the author demonstrates how artists from around the world have used abstract imagery to express social, cultural and spiritual experience. Karmel builds this fresh approach to abstract art around five inclusive themes: body, landscape, cosmology, architecture and man--made signs and patterns. In the process, this history develops a series of narratives that go far beyond the established figures and movements traditionally associated with abstract art. Each narrative is complemented by a number of featured abstract works, arranged in thought--provoking pairings with accompanying extended captions that provide an in--depth analysis. This wide--ranging examination incorporates work from Asia, Australia, Africa and South America, as well as Europe and North America, through artists ranging from Wu Guanzhong, Joan Miró and Jackson Pollock to Hilma af Klint and Odili Donald Odita. Breaking new ground, Karmel has forged a new history of this key art movement.

A celebration of creative freedom, storytelling without limits, and the enduring power of animation.

Giotto. Fresky v Aréne.


Prelomové metodologické dielo významného nemeckého historika umenia Maxa Imdahla, ktorého slovenský preklad vychádza k 100. výročiu jeho narodenia. V sprievodnej štúdii o ňom píše Marian Zervan: „Imdahlov výklad možno chápať aj tak, že ním navrhovaná ontológia obrazu je schopná si poradiť s predmetným i nepredmetným maliarstvom, no zároveň aj tak, že nám chce ukázať celú šírku vnútorne sa diferencujúceho ikonického prístupu. Tu niekde treba vidieť zárodok Imdahlovho rozlišovania medzi a) znovurozpoznávajúcim videním a b) vidiacim videním v zmysle a) videnia orientovaného na každodenné veci a bytosti, teda diela-veci, ale aj v obraze spredmetnené texty a veci vrátane diel-vecí a b) videnia reflektujúceho buď to, čo práve vidíme, ale z iného aspektu, alebo to, čo sme doposiaľ ešte nevideli a čo je možno dokonca neviditeľné, či presnejšie videnie zamerané na vznikajúcu a dejúcu sa obraznosť, ktorá obnovuje našu schopnosť vidieť z rôznych aspektov a ukazovať ako sa dá vidieť aj nevidené a neviditeľné. A práve to podľa Imdahla dokáže maliarstvo a výtvarné umenie vôbec.“ Preložili Ladislav Tkáčik a Marian Zervan.

Významy krajiny


John Sallis vo svojej knihe Významy krajiny, ktorá sa venuje stvárneniu krajiny v maliarstve, vychádza z tvrdenia, že zem je základným elementom, ktorý poskytuje ľuďom i ostatným živým bytostiam útočisko a čitateľom predkladá pôsobivé syntetické dielo. Významy krajiny ponúkajú tri druhy analýz, ktoré sú síce odlišné, ale priebežne sa neustále prelínajú. Prvá pozostáva z rozsiahlych analýz charakteristických krajín štyroch exemplárnych maliarov, Paula Cézanna, Caspara Davida Friedricha, Paula Kleeho a Guo Xiho. Sallis sa následne obracia k vlastným spisom týchto umelcov – traktátom, esejam a listom – o umení vo všeobecnosti a krajinomaľbe zvlášť, a zasadzuje ich do filozofického kontextu. Tretí druh analýz čerpá ako z teoretických textov samotného autora, tak aj z kanonických textov filozofie umenia (Kant, Schelling, Hegel a Heidegger). Ide o analýzy, ktoré čitateľovi ponúkajú prehĺbenie porozumenia pre krajinu ako pozemský príbytok človeka i pre krajinomaľbu, ktorá v súčasnom umení zažíva istú renesanciu. Súčasťou knihy je aj 32 diskutovaných farebných reprodukcií. Preložil Ladislav Tkáčik.

Dior By Yuriko Takagi


An important addition to the library of leading artistic photographers working to interpret the fashion house s oeuvre. Takagi is an icon of Japanese fashion photography, with an artistic practice including painting and drawing. Her enchanting and otherworldly images are built with a unique and careful consideration of shadows, the result of a career-long contemplation of natural light a theme that plays a pivotal role in her work for Dior. This book features exclusive shootings by Takagi of the most emblematic Dior haute couture designs. Takagi delivers her personal reinterpretation of the essence of Dior, opening a profound dialogue between her artistic conception and the codes of the House. Her photographs capture an ephemeral, intangible quality of the subjects, and her signature technique of layering images, in this case of flowers and architectural motifs over toiles of dresses and models, creates a dreamlike atmosphere. The result is a collection of great poetry, a surrealist promenade through Dior s eras, and a unique observation of the inventiveness of the House over the decades.

The Star Wars Archives. 1999–2005


From the moment Star Wars burst onto the screen in 1977, audiences have been in equal parts fascinated and appalled by the half-man/half-machine hybrid Darth Vader. In 1999, creator George Lucas began the story of how Anakin Skywalker grew up to train as a Jedi under Obi-Wan Kenobi, found love with the Queen of Naboo, Padmé Amidala, before turning to the dark side of his nature and becoming more machine than man. After driving the development of nascent digital technology, George Lucas perceived how he could create new creatures and new worlds on a grander scale than ever before. He created the first digital blockbuster, and met fierce resistance when he pushed for widespread digital cameras, sets, characters, and projection – all of which are now used throughout the industry. He essentially popularized the modern way of making movies. Made with the full cooperation of George Lucas and Lucasfilm, this second volume covers the making of the prequel trilogy — Episode I The Phantom Menace, Episode II Attack of the Clones, and Episode III Revenge of the Sith — and features exclusive interviews with Lucas and his collaborators. The book is profusely illustrated with script pages, production documents, concept art, storyboards, on-set photography, stills, and posters.

Making Space


A global survey of 250 of the most creative women practicing interior design from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present day The history of women's involvement in interior design is rich and varied. It is a discipline where women enjoy an equal standing with their male counterparts, yet it is typically framed as a design practice especially suited to women, secondary to the heroic role of architect or furniture designer. This timely survey explores the ways in which women have shaped the built environment beyond the confines of the home, revealing their careers as true tastemakers of the twentieth and twenty-first century. Making Space shines a light on the diverse and influential work of 250 women who design interiors - well-known, unsung, and emerging - from more than 50 countries. The featured designers represent myriad styles, from flamboyant maximalism to artfully arranged minimalism. There are the big names, such as Rose Uniacke, Kelly Wearstler, and Brigette Romanek; pioneers, including Dorothy Draper, Sibyl Colefax, and Elsie de Wolfe; and those who have been almost entirely written out of history. Beautifully designed and illustrated with hundreds of striking photographs, Making Space will inspire anyone who cares about the spaces within which they live. Designers featured include: Sophie Ashby, Sofia Aspe, Gae Aulenti, Kelly Behun, Madeleine Castaing, Sibyl Colefax, Athena Calderone, Ilse Crawford, Olayinka Dosekun-Adjei, Dorothy Draper, Nathalie and Virginie Droulers, Shahira Fahmy, Beata Heuman, Katie Lockhart, Yana Molodykh, Tekla Evelina Severin, and Pamela Shamshiri.
